As someone who is far more involved with autographs than cards it has always troubled me that so many people on this board question the authentication services and the field of autograph collecting in general. I have almost no involvement in card collecting and can honestly say that I am glad because I truly believe that most high grade/dollar cards that are in slabs have been somehow tampered with and my limited knowledge in the area would lead me to buy a good number of these. That said, I suppose that is why all of you feel the same way about autographs! I would lay ALOT of money on the table and say with near certainty that the number of authentication mistakes made in the autograph field pale in comparison to the number of altered cards that are now in slabs.
